Regal Lions show Reds no mercy

Queensland Reds 8-42 Lions

An awesome first-half display from the Lions saw them breeze past the Queenslands Reds in Brisbane.

The match had been touted as the unofficial first Test but despite fielding a team containing a host of internationals, the Reds were roasted by the tourists and the match was over by half-time.

After going behind briefly, the Lions ran in five tries and allowed Queensland no further score until halfway through the second half.
